Abstract
Pediatric cerebrospinal fluid shunt malfunctions can present with varying complaints. The primary cause is elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Malfunctioning sites are the proximal or distal sites[1-4]. A rare presenting complaint is cardiac arrest. Immediate ICP reduction is the only reversible option for this type of cardiac arrest.Entities:
